Happy birthday, Gus. Always my favorite star voyager, from the first day I learned about these people we call astronauts to every day that has followed.You were always looking for the faster, stronger, better way to get from one place to another — cars, bikes, planes, boats, rockets (and your beloved, ridiculous Paresev that the other Mercury guys couldn’t stand). How fitting then, that when I look back on the last five years, I can see how clearly you helped me get from here to there, the places I was to where I needed to go.You’ve been gone now so much longer than you were here, but since you were born on this day in 1926, you’ve brought so much light to your family, your friends, every single person who has looked up to your example of good work and courage and taking care of the people you love — not just for your almost 41 years of life but every day since your passing, too. Every step we make into the universe is because of and for you.Love you, bubba. Happy birthday to my fuckin’ A, the good luck guy, our Gus. -- source link
